This was contained in a press statement issued by the Chamber on Sunday (April 9, 2017).

The statement signed by the Communications Manager of the Chamber said that Kwaku Sakyi-Addo is leaving the organisation to take on “a new responsibility as Chairman of the Board of the National Communications Authority (NCA), the industry regulator.”

Mr Sakyi-Addo, who is the first CEO of the Chamber, is credited with building the organisation from nothing to its current significant position in the telecommunications industry.

Apart from being the advocate for the operators, the Chamber has over the years built a niche for itself as a thought-leader in industry issues.

Mr. Sakyi-Addo has contributed greatly to the growing understanding of the telecommunications industry.

Commenting on his resignation, Ms. Yolanda Cuba, CEO of Vodafone Ghana and Chairperson of the Governing Council of the Chamber said they were disappointed he was leaving.

“Kwaku has made a significant impact during his tenure with the Chamber. He has built a strong organization focused on our industry’s priorities and advocating effectively on behalf of mobile operators and infrastructure sharing companies across the country.”

I’m grateful to the Governing Council, our entire membership and, of course, the Chamber staff for their support over the last six years.”
